An investigation is underway after a man was found shot to death Sunday in a Midfield neighborhood.

A resident on Ninth Street heard their dog barking and went to investigate, said Midfield police Chief Jesse Bell.

That’s when the victim was found wounded in a yard. The discovery was made about noon.

He had been shot multiple times. Other neighbors had reported hearing several gunshots, Bell said.

The victim was taken to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead. His identity has not yet been released.

Bell said no arrests have been made.
